Goodbye Earth!

Looks like I'm off into space before Christmas! This is my 'boarding pass' for NASA's Orion spacecrafts first flight. My name will be going up on a microchip on this flight and others, including maybe to Mars, collecting 'frequent flyer 'miles :)
This is all part of NASA's publicity for the forthcoming missions.

In all seriousness, I would have loved to have become an astronaut. I have been interested in space and astronomy since I was a child and even submitted an application form to become the first Briton in space in 1989!! This is the closest I will ever get :)
